Angel Page #4

---

Take a banana and an orange. Imma get

'em from you and save 'em for later.

- Hey, Jamie, how you doing?

- Hey.

Oh, Angel, don't forget to come by

my office before you go, okay?

Okay.

See you guys later.

"Hey, Jamie,

how you doing?"

B*tch.

Wouldn't give me a note

to get out of Regent's prep.

Take a apple too.

Right there.

Excuse me.

How do they look?

Good, I guess.

- Hey, Jamie.

- Hey, Leigh Ann, what's up?

I'm gonna be over

at Benita's later.

Hope I see you.

So, I stayed at Nicole's house

last night.

You what?

Hm-mmm.

She's married, though.

So? You sleep

in her bed?

What, are you crazy?

You never know

how the world turns.

You need a place to stay, Angel,

why you didn't come to me?

You know

you could stay with me.

I'm at my cousin's house,

but he's cool, he wouldn't mind.

I thought you were

at your sister's.

No, I'm at my cousin's now.

I got my own room.

Okay.

They got a nice TV?

- What?

- Nicole. They got a big TV?

Not really, just regular.

My cousin got a 50" plasma screen,

stereo sound.

Whatever.

Okay, fine. You don't want to stay

with me, you could just say it.

- Give me your hand.

- What?

Come on! Give me your hand.

Let me read your palm.

We need to see what the future holds

for this poor little lost boy.

Hmm.

I see you have many

choices before you.

There are many different

paths you can walk down.

Yeah, just tell me what's gonna

happen tomorrow, all right?

Okay.

Hmm.

Stop.

What are you doing?

Whatever.

Ain't nobody else

trying to touch you.

Where you going?

Come on.

Let's go downstairs.

You gonna lug that thing

around with you all night?

Feel this.

All muscle.

Humph.

- I feel a little pea.

- F*** you.

Sorry, baby, but...

size matters to this girl.

Who's strong now, huh?

Go ahead,

try and get loose.

What if I don't

want to get loose?

See, you better not

f*** with me.

What are you

talking about?

You're the one

pressing up on me.

Don't f*** with me.

You're an a**hole,

Angel.

What?

F***ing a**hole!

It just sucks to be

in that position.

Oh, well, not in

that position.

- Shut up.

- Look at you.

I don't want to live

with them anymore.

I'm in America now,

not China,

but they still treat me

like I'm f***ing dirt.

I think your uncle and aunt

care about you a lot.

Lisa, look at me. I know this because

they take the time to contact me

and let me know

how things are going.

Now they may be angry with you

now because of what happened.

Maybe that's what

you're feeling.

I want to be

with American family.

White family. Can you talk

to Sue and get me adopted?

The rules are gonna be the same

no matter where you live.

You're 15 years old.

No parental guardian

is gonna let you stay out all night,

drink and do drugs.

Am I right?

Now listen to me.

Lisa, I need to

say this to you.

I know what you did,

and I don't agree

with it, okay?

But no matter what you think

your family thinks about you

or how you feel

about yourself right now,

nothing you can do is going to

make me turn my back on you

and leave you alone

to deal with this.

Are you hearing me?

Lisa, come on.

Fine.

Okay.

Look, we have to stop now,

but I'll give your uncle

another call.

And I'm gonna see you again

here on Friday.

Okay?

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hey, it's me, I'm just

finishing up here.

So, I guess I'll see you

back at the house.

Why don't you call me

when you're almost finished up?

Okay? Bye.

Hey, just the person

I was coming to see.

- I copied that article for you.

- Oh, Marcia, thank you.

Oh, that's great.

Hey, how was the conference?

A snooze.

You didn't miss anything.

Congratulations,

by the way.

I just heard.

- I was gonna tell you.

- Uh-huh, uh-huh.

- How far along are you?

- Oh my God, 19 weeks I think.

- You feeling good?

- Yeah yeah, I'm okay.

Tired, freaking out

a little.

About the giving birth

part or the fact that

your life is gonna

change forever?

Yeah, exactly.

Plus, my hormones...

Yo, slow down!

- You headed out?

- Oh, I got a kid I gotta find.

Who's taking

your kids?

What do you mean?

Well, have you talked with Maribel

about who's gonna cover for you yet?

God, no, we haven't

discussed it yet.

Guess we'll work it out

closer to the holidays.

Well, when you do,

tell her not to pass

them onto my desk.

I can't keep track

of the kids I got already.

Oh, no, of course.

- I'm outta here.

- Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- I'm flattered.

- I'm flattered too. You don't see me going...

Hey, Jamie.

Have you seen Angel?

Who's Angel?

He left, actually.

Yeah, I think he left.

Well, that's weird.

He was supposed to wait for me.

I can come stay

at your house instead.

Jamie.

Don't worry.

I ain't gonna say nothing.

But you used to

love me too, Ms. Nicole.

What?

You used to give me hugs

and all that good stuff.

Oh, Jamie.

- More.

- Okay.

- More.

- Hey, I gotta go find Angel.

See? I told you

you don't love me no more.

All I'm asking for

is a little hug.

Sometimes a girl needs

a shoulder to cry on.

There is a Manhattan-bound

J-train

approaching Marcy Avenue

one stop away.

Why would you do that?

What are you

talking about?

Angel?

Who's Angel?

Is that your lover?

Very funny.

I'm not my father.

Okay, this is not about that.

This about you making

decisions for our children

that don't involve

their free will.

So?

- So what?

- So who's Angel?

No one. He's this guy we had

fixing the computer.

I thought he might

have been here working.

- They have fun with toilet paper.

- Oh.

Why are you

getting so upset?

You're sounding

like your father.

Hey, look,

I am not prejudiced.

You know what?

You are worse than your father.

And who have you

brought for us today?

This is a very unique

and very precious little...

- Precious is the word. She's beautiful.

- She is.

She's actually your perfect

Christmas card puppy.

But in addition to just

being absolutely adorable

and adoptable and lovable

in every way,

she has the behavior

of a champ.

She's just

a dream come true.

Hey, I'm on my last load.

I'll be out of here soon.

It's fine.

Don't rush.

She and her litter mates

were victims of neglect,

and they were confiscated

by our humane society.

And she and her brothers

and sisters are all available.

You gotta see

what I bought.

You're not supposed

to be drinking.

I just have a glass with dinner,

Heather, relax.

Isn't this the cutest thing

you've ever seen?

That is cute.

Oh, look at this one.

I love this one.

- Look at the bears.

- Look, I'm not even 20 weeks.

You're buying clothes.

What if something happens?

Don't worry. Nothing's gonna happen.

You're so healthy.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'll take 'em back.

No, stop.

Here, come on, let me see.

Oh, I love this.

This is great.

I know, and look

at these buttons.

Look, why don't you save them,

give them to me at the baby shower?

- Okay, that makes sense.

- Okay?

So have you talked

to Mom?

No. Oh, last week
